Delaware in 1924

The 1924 contest saw Delaware line up behind Coolidge, delivering 3 electoral votes to the Republican ticket. That placed Delaware with the eventual winner: Calvin Coolidge went on to take the presidency, and Delaware was part of his column.

Delaware stayed in the Republican column for the 3rd straight cycle, extending a run that began in 1916. Delaware did not move alone — neighboring Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey broke the same way in 1924. Over its 60 recorded presidential cycles, Delaware has backed the Democratic party more than any other — 23 times in all. The vote fell within the Roaring Twenties — Republican dominance to the Great Depression.

Nationally, Calvin Coolidge finished with 382 of the 531 electoral votes to John W. Davis's 136. Calvin Coolidge led the national popular vote with 54.04% of the ballots cast.
